Revolutionizing Health Screening: The Metallo-Balance Test

In a significant stride toward preventive healthcare, the Metallo-Balance Test has been introduced at Yotsuya Clinic in Shinjuku, Tokyo. This groundbreaking screening assessment, developed by Renatech Inc., allows individuals to determine their cancer risk through just a 6mL blood sample.

Understanding the Metallo-Balance Test

The Metallo-Balance Test analyzes the concentration balance of 17 trace elements in the blood, providing an objective evaluation of risk factors related to cancer and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Designed for efficiency and comfort, the test requires only 15 minutes to complete, ensuring minimal physical strain on patients while offering crucial health insights.

Key Features of the Test

• - Minimal Blood Sample: The test is exceptionally non-invasive, relying on a mere 6mL of blood to conduct its analysis safely in a controlled clinical environment.
• - Comprehensive Cancer Risk Assessment: One blood draw can evaluate the risk for various cancers—6 areas for males (lung, stomach, liver, pancreas, colon, prostate) and 9 for females (lung, stomach, liver, pancreas, colon, breast, cervical, uterine, ovarian)—rated on a 4-point scale from A to D.
• - MCI Comprehensive Risk Evaluation: The test goes beyond traditional assessments by including a thorough analysis of Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia, such as vascular and Lewy body dementia.

Proven Effectiveness with Research Backing

Renatech has received funding support from the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry's Go-Tech program, collaborating with esteemed institutions like the Kanagawa Cancer Center and the Chiba Cancer Center. The Metallo-Balance Test has garnered patents across nine countries and has already seen over 100,000 individuals screened since 2019.

How to Participate in the Test

Patients interested in the Metallo-Balance Test must apply three weeks prior to their desired testing date, ensuring that all necessary paperwork arrives on time. Applications can be made via the clinic's website or by phone. After confirming an appointment, patients will receive necessary documents about a week before their testing date.

On the day of the test, patients will go through a smooth process of blood collection, with subsequent results mailed approximately five weeks later—providing a comprehensive breakdown of their health status and associated risks.

Important Precautions

• - Fasting Required: Participants must abstain from food and alcohol after 9 PM the night before the test. Hydration with water is encouraged to facilitate blood draw.
• - Medication Restrictions: Over-the-counter medicines and supplements should not be taken the day prior to the test, while prescribed medications may be continued as usual.

Cost of the Test

The Metallo-Balance Test is categorized under self-pay medical services, priced at ¥19,800, including tax. It is important to note that while cancer risk assessments are conducted at Yotsuya Clinic, cognitive risk assessments are unavailable at this location.

Eligibility Criteria

Suited for Japanese individuals aged 20 to 80, the test utilizes data derived from this demographic. However, those outside this age range can still participate with the understanding that results will only be intended as reference values.

Certain individuals, including those who are pregnant, currently undergoing cancer treatment, or suffering from specific health conditions, are disqualified from participation for safety reasons.
